Speaker 1: Well that is, mister Miles.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: This is the episode of The Daily's Likes where we
Speaker 1: tell you what is trending this afternoon? Yes, Tuesday, February
Speaker 1: twenty seventh.
Speaker 2: Yep, one more day after this.
Speaker 1: Huh, one more day.
Speaker 2: Man, this is finally out of February.
Speaker 1: Finally out of February, second to last day of February,
Speaker 1: where I just get get ready for March, get ready
Speaker 1: to get loose. Uh, there's no way.
Speaker 2: Brian the editor saying, what it's a leap day this year? No, No,
Speaker 2: that's just like the opinion man.
Speaker 1: That's like, what are you also a flat earther? Oh,
Speaker 1: there's one day every four years there has an extra
Speaker 1: day in February.
Speaker 2: Want to meet many that's why?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right here.
Speaker 2: I'm having this because I'm watching so much quantum leap
Speaker 2: this year, quantum leapier.
Speaker 1: That I pay attention to.
Speaker 2: Man, So anyway, what now the this is like one
Speaker 2: of those stories.
Speaker 1: This is one of those stories. It's like should be
Speaker 1: should feel light. It's like we like to check in
Speaker 1: with the world of fast food, see what's going on
Speaker 1: with fast food companies. See what like depressing gimmicks they've
Speaker 1: introduced for Valentine's Day. So that Wendyesu is going to
Speaker 1: introduce surge pricing and I heard that and like I
Speaker 1: got a very dark glimpse of the future. This was
Speaker 1: like no, no, this is this is going to be
Speaker 1: fucking everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we're saying it's like like a uber type
Speaker 2: thing where like, hey man, a lot of people are
Speaker 2: trying to leave this concert as you So it's like
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to throw like fifteen percent on top
Speaker 2: of this right now because of the surge.
Speaker 1: The only people coming in here after midnight are drunk
Speaker 1: and so and they're going to be willing to spend
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars on a baconator. So we're, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the prices are just going to be fluid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dynamic pricing, as the CEO said, yeah, as early
Speaker 2: as running year. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they're investing in twenty million dollars in digital menu
Speaker 1: boards that will allow the prices to easily algorithmically change
Speaker 1: throughout the day, which you know, search pricing was employed
Speaker 1: by companies like Uber and Ticketmaster, and really, what company
Speaker 1: wouldn't love to show the public that they're becoming more
Speaker 1: like Ticketmaster?
Speaker 2: Our beloved Ticketmaster, our beloved ticket gouger.
Speaker 1: We've we've gotten rid of where's the beef as our slogan.
Speaker 1: We are now Wendy's more like Ticketmaster than you think.
Speaker 2: It's not. Yeah, Wendy's not where's the beef? Is Wendy's Yeah,
Speaker 2: we want the fuck smoke? And which is what it's
Speaker 2: gonna be? I like how AI has even propped up
Speaker 2: in this dumb fucking story. It says the new quote
Speaker 2: AI enabled menu changes. That's not fucking what who you're
Speaker 2: fucking greed? Is AI enabled? What are you fucking talking about?
Speaker 2: Will allow for new suggestive selling based on factors such
Speaker 2: as weather. So I guess, like if it's raining, they'll
Speaker 2: just be like, hey, don't we don't have ice cream
Speaker 2: because all the ice cream closed places are closed when
Speaker 2: it's raining. Everyone knows that's too cold for ice And
Speaker 2: I got doubles of the Barracuda the Daytona.
Speaker 1: Just too cold for ice, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: got that broccoli cheddar soup for you to warm warm
Speaker 1: up your This.
Speaker 2: Is gonna, this isn't gonna. I feel like this is
Speaker 2: what this is a weather balloon thing because one thing, you,
Speaker 2: I mean, I get, we're already in a fucking era
Speaker 2: where you blink and then you're like, wait, did they
Speaker 2: just raise the price on that? But to now be
Speaker 2: in a place where it's like, dude, the shit could
Speaker 2: cost one thing at eight am and another at fucking
Speaker 2: one pm. Yeah, that's not That's not anything a consumer wants.
Speaker 2: You want consistency, you know what I mean? And yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: It's going to work like I do. Think it's going
Speaker 1: to work for Wendy's. Not it's not going to work,
Speaker 1: like it's not going to serve us well, but that
Speaker 1: is not what capitalism aims to do anymore. They aim
Speaker 1: to extract every cent possible from you while like not
Speaker 1: causing you to you know, throw something through the front
Speaker 1: window of the Wendy's and right, you know, so like
Speaker 1: I I feel like this. I think the reason this
Speaker 1: gave me such a sinking feeling is I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course this is the inevitable future that like you'll
Speaker 1: be able to witness the prices going up on the
Speaker 1: checks mix at the airport.
Speaker 2: That's just so grim too. Like again, we talk about
Speaker 2: like fast food it in at least in this country.
Speaker 2: The culture that we were sort of raised on was
Speaker 2: fast food is accessible because the price was lower. And
Speaker 2: now they're like, dude, the fact you could be like
Speaker 2: I can already picture a teenage me with like, you know,
Speaker 2: five bucks in my pocket. I'm like, let me get
Speaker 2: that back of like, oh, sorry, the surge is wanted.
Speaker 2: That's just six twenty now, yep, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 2: That's why I'm like, I don't know if I get it.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, we can't all be as principled consumers,
Speaker 2: but I know, I'm sure plenty of people be turned
Speaker 2: off by the idea that they would be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: and now it's one price and then now it's another,
Speaker 2: just because we feel like it.
Speaker 1: You get you order something at the drive through menu
Speaker 1: and then drive forward and they're like that actually went
Speaker 1: up fifty cents, so we're gonna need you.
Speaker 2: To write yeah. Then I'd be like, oh, I don't
Speaker 2: have it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, But where are you gonna go.
Speaker 2: A Dell taco? It's like next door?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's a car in front of you, bro,
Speaker 1: this is to drive through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well then I'll wait. Yeah, I got time, but
Speaker 2: I don't have a dollar twenty to fucking throw on
Speaker 2: top of this shit already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like a terrible idea, like because people
Speaker 1: are citing fast food prices as a big reason that
Speaker 1: fast food sales are down. But if there's one thing
Speaker 1: we've learned, it's that we are in an unfair battle
Speaker 1: with these corporations and they have the ability to raise
Speaker 1: the prices on us and will do so. And there's
Speaker 1: not a shitload that can be done other than like
Speaker 1: go elsewhere. But if everybody's raising the prices.
Speaker 2: Pads, yeah, or it'll just you know, if you have
Speaker 2: the time and ability to then just cook at home.
Speaker 2: You know, I can make a square hamburger pat. I
Speaker 2: mean I never really ate a Wendy's, to be honest,
Speaker 2: because there was not really one by me as a kid,
Speaker 2: so I just didn't. I didn't benefit from the the
Speaker 2: Wendy's craze.
Speaker 1: Have you ever tried a hamburger with salt on it?
Speaker 1: That's kind of there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you like that and it's square. I'm like, yeah, yeah, fine,
Speaker 2: I remember, like but then, like in college, I would
Speaker 2: pass a Wendy's and every now and then I'm like,
Speaker 2: triple cheeseburger. Okay, diarrhea, You're got my attention.
Speaker 1: You're on. So we have an update on the robocall
Speaker 1: featuring an AI clone of Joe Biden's voice. This was
Speaker 1: raised a lot of red flags for people who are like,
Speaker 1: this might be the future of elections, prompted an immediate
Speaker 1: investigation by the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office. Also inspired
Speaker 1: the FCC to ban robocalls with AI created voices, using
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety one Telephone Consumer Protection Act as justification.
Speaker 1: But so the investigation revealed who is behind these calls
Speaker 1: and the answer to that is a wild story that
Speaker 1: will no doubt become an FX limited series one day.
Speaker 1: As a writer, jam like, it really has that vibe
Speaker 1: of what the wh like, There's so many colorful characters
Speaker 1: in this. The roboc were traced back to a telecom
Speaker 1: company called Life Corporation, based out of a strip mall
Speaker 1: in the suburbs of Dallas, and its owner, Walter Monk
Speaker 1: is kind of less of a political operative and more
Speaker 1: like Kramer from Seinfeld. His LinkedIn page includes the list
Speaker 1: of his past businesses, ranging from a beef jerkey plant,
Speaker 1: condom machine roots, lobster trapping, a chain of nightclubs and bars,
Speaker 1: selling bait, a dating service, credit card processing center, selling
Speaker 1: pool cues. Okay, just like the things that would occur
Speaker 1: to you at random, like over the course of a day.
Speaker 1: But his telecom empire actually began not with politically motivated
Speaker 1: robo calls, but with singles hotline. Oh yeah, imagine things
Speaker 1: have been if it would have been if Ai Biden
Speaker 1: simply connected New Hampshire voters with hot singles for just
Speaker 1: one nine per mint.
Speaker 2: You know what's not malarkey? Are these hot ladies that
Speaker 2: you can talk to right now. I'm President Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: and I hope you connect with them like wow that
Speaker 2: I mean maybe I could. Hey, if Joe, if they're
Speaker 2: good enough for the president, then surely good enough for us.
Speaker 1: But they kept digging miles. They were asking who hired
Speaker 1: this company, and it was somebody connected to the campaign
Speaker 1: of Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota, Biden's long shot Democratic
Speaker 1: primary challenger who previously claimed that he just wanted to
Speaker 1: strengthen Biden, not to me and him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: I think he realized that maybe if he had a
Speaker 1: stronger showing in New Hampshire than people expected, he might
Speaker 1: get a little bit more media, And if he got
Speaker 1: a little bit more media, it would just enhance his
Speaker 1: ability to strengthen Biden. That's all he was looking to do.
Speaker 1: It was selfish, like.
Speaker 2: This guy who worked for Phillips campaign just got like
Speaker 2: some uh, some hacker who's like a aster of AI things,
Speaker 2: like a like a studio that does that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: He actually hired a New Orleans magician. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: basically what.
Speaker 2: You said, like a literal like a literal.
Speaker 1: Magician from the city of New Orleans. He's romocas, which
Speaker 1: dominated his cycle for days, exacerbated America's fears over AI
Speaker 1: disinformation and influenced actual government policy. Were created by a
Speaker 1: New Orleans magician who holds the world record in fork
Speaker 1: bending and straight jacket escapes and who has so he
Speaker 1: has those records, but he has no fixed address and
Speaker 1: has never voted.
Speaker 2: King a true king, Paul uh huh.
Speaker 1: He came forward and admitted his participation, claiming he had
Speaker 1: no malicious intent and thought that the guy who was
Speaker 1: working for Dean Phillips' campaign was working for the Biden campaign.
Speaker 1: Why he thought Biden would need an AI clone of
Speaker 1: his own voice is unclear, but so Carbenter. The magician
Speaker 1: was recently interviewed on CNN on Friday while doing card
Speaker 1: tricks and bending a fork.
Speaker 2: I bet that was part of the deal. He's like, Look,
Speaker 2: I'm not going on the news to admit my part
Speaker 2: in this scandal unless I can get a little promo
Speaker 2: for my fork bending and.
Speaker 1: Just a straight up grinder. This guy he paid. He
Speaker 1: was paid just one hundred and fifty dollars to do
Speaker 1: the to create the audio and less and he was
Speaker 1: able to do it in less than twenty minutes, only
Speaker 1: cost him one dollars. I have always, you know, said
Speaker 1: that I thought the audio sounded like it was created
Speaker 1: in less than twenty minutes. Like it sounds like shit.
Speaker 1: I don't think it should have fooled anybody into thinking
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was actually on the other end of the
Speaker 1: phone talking to them. But you know, not everybody's super
Speaker 1: or tech savvy. I guess, yeah, but yeah, claimed he
Speaker 1: had no idea about the robo calls. And yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like the guy who worked for so Dean Phillips was like,
Speaker 1: this was a contractor who did this, went rogue? He
Speaker 1: got the contractor Kramer, the guy's last Steve Kramer, who
Speaker 1: is a longtime political operative on such things as Kanye's
Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential campaign.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so yeah, he's a real shit house artist.
Speaker 2: Got it, got it?
Speaker 1: Catch he was behind the robo calls and is backing
Speaker 1: up Phillips's story stating that he acted independently, but he
Speaker 1: is also claiming that the robo calls were really an
Speaker 1: act of civil disobedience to call attention to the dangers
Speaker 1: of AI and politics. And really that is like it,
Speaker 1: were I wearing a hat, were I wearing multiple hats,
Speaker 1: I would be taking them off to this.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just.
Speaker 1: A true American legend.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I think he compared himself to Paul Revere.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's the top review of the AI.
Speaker 2: Shit cool cool cool cool. Well he's yeah, great, good
Speaker 2: for you, good for you.
Speaker 1: So that story magicians, fucking bullshit opticians. I think Kramer
Speaker 1: met the magician on the streets of New Orleans at
Speaker 1: one point, like it's just such an amazing like what
Speaker 1: a what a tail? You know?
Speaker 2: I know, is he like going around looking for like flunkies.
Speaker 2: He's like, all right, I'm gonna keep this guy's card
Speaker 2: because he might be useful in the future. He's got
Speaker 2: no address. If I just if I just sit through
Speaker 2: a fork bending exhibit exhibition, like I can get him
Speaker 2: to do stuff for one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I mean I have met street magicians like
Speaker 1: at a bar while fairly drunk and been like, I
Speaker 1: got to keep this guy's number because I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: in jam one time and I need to, like, I
Speaker 1: need to know this guy's phone numbers, so because he
Speaker 1: is actually magical.
Speaker 2: Majackal majackal.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're back, and we got just another
Speaker 1: update to a past story. We talked about how LA
Speaker 1: is making itself spongier by remembering a bunch of concrete
Speaker 1: and that LA was able to kind of capture a
Speaker 1: lot more water in its latest atmospheric river aka just rainstorm.
Speaker 1: But we are dramatic. We like too.
Speaker 2: It's pretty. It is dramatic the amount of water that
Speaker 2: does come in. But yeah, you know that's look you're
Speaker 2: see you're that you exposed your transplant nature there. You're
Speaker 2: not from here to us. We're like, it's a atmospheric
Speaker 2: river and you're like, it's rain, a lot of rain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is my non LA privilege.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just experienced seasons.
Speaker 1: They but yeah, so this is part of a global trend.
Speaker 1: We also mentioned Pittsburgh. Believe it or not, it goes
Speaker 1: beyond LA and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: This thing's bigger than these two cities.
Speaker 1: Things bigger than just LA and Pittsburgh. Portland alone, since
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, has depaved more than thirty three
Speaker 1: thousand square meters three hundred and sixty thousand square feet
Speaker 1: an area equivalent to nearly four and a half football pitches.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, and this was the detailing story that like
Speaker 1: jumped out to me. The work is joyous, says one
Speaker 1: of the people who organizes it, because it unites enthusiastic
Speaker 1: local volunteers. They get a safety briefing and then muck
Speaker 1: in together. This is, by the way, an article from
Speaker 1: the BBC in case you're wondering why football pitches and
Speaker 1: everybody's mucking in together. But that's like a you know,
Speaker 1: during the Great Depression, like the New Deal like put
Speaker 1: a lot of people to work and everybody was yeah,
Speaker 1: and people were excited. They were like, we're part of
Speaker 1: a bigger thing that is like making the world a
Speaker 1: better place. We're like building these highways where you know,
Speaker 1: building dams that are going to like get water to
Speaker 1: people who need it. And like, I feel like that's
Speaker 1: an underrated thing that capitalism has kind of erased from
Speaker 1: the equation, is that there's, yes, this is going to
Speaker 1: be an enormous job to like fight climate change. It
Speaker 1: seems impossible right now because everything is run by this
Speaker 1: like hive mind market economy bullshit, But like people are
Speaker 1: begging to do this work. Like people want to do it,
Speaker 1: whether they get paid or not. If we can just
Speaker 1: fucking get the money owing brds jobs that I'm going
Speaker 1: to save the world the one.
Speaker 2: Time capitalists are not interested in free labor exactly, Dude,
Speaker 2: to what do they want to build some fucking oil rigs?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: No? Okay, no, dude, sorry, I don't I don't know
Speaker 2: what the fuck's going on with these people. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it's all over I mean like in Western Europe too.
Speaker 2: They're pointing to cities in Belgium and in the UK,
Speaker 2: and I mean like again, like we were saying with
Speaker 2: the last story, like it's it's like one of the
Speaker 2: smaller ways cities are trying to basically be like all right,
Speaker 2: we got like these are this is a little thing
Speaker 2: that can happen that can bring better benefits uh to
Speaker 2: a city, especially as you know we have like these
Speaker 2: boom bus cycles of like rain or drought and things
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, people in London are being encouraged to depave
Speaker 1: their gardens. Yeah, just like a little a little step.
Speaker 1: But you know, Belgium has like an initiative that's aimed
Speaker 1: at the suburbs and they're removing significant volumes of asphalt
Speaker 1: from residential areas, forcing cars to share the same part
Speaker 1: of the road as pedestrians and cyclists, and like Melbourne
Speaker 1: is doing. Melbourne is doing a thing that we talked
Speaker 1: about a while back where they're trying to convert parking
Speaker 1: lots and parking spaces into green spaces because that has
Speaker 1: a double effect of you know, creating more spongy spaces
Speaker 1: that aren't covered in asphalt, but also making it more
Speaker 1: of a pain in the ass to like drive in
Speaker 1: the city. So you know that fewer people drive, more
Speaker 1: people take public transport. So I don't know, it's just
Speaker 1: there is work being done. It would just be great
Speaker 1: if they were like and we're going to turn on
Speaker 1: the money spigot. So this is like people's actual jobs
Speaker 1: and then people got to do jobs that made them
Speaker 1: feel good and like walk around outside and you know,
Speaker 1: it almost makes too much sense, So fuck all that.
Speaker 1: We got to get them in, plug them into the
Speaker 1: AI economy instead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bit by bit though, I mean like it's I
Speaker 2: hope we can this trend can last. But also like
Speaker 2: it's also up to you know, the people that run
Speaker 2: municipalities and cities and things like that to really understand
Speaker 2: like what it all means. Rather than just being like,
Speaker 2: oh man, that parking lot. Man, it helps bring people
Speaker 2: to the city center. It's like, well, how about you
Speaker 2: do this fucking you know, green these spaces and like
Speaker 2: we said, like even with that story about Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: you know, pulling back on like the emissions regulations for cars,
Speaker 2: Like the conversation really has to also be about like
Speaker 2: good mash transit and making sure people under like that
Speaker 2: people can move in a way that isn't so carbon intensive.
Speaker 2: But yeah, hey, good news, a little bit of good news.
Speaker 2: Just keep on good news, depave and if you're a
Speaker 2: deepave and let us know you know you do pay
Speaker 2: more good news. Huh.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched Seth Myers last night.
Speaker 2: Oh fuck, I saw that clip. Man, I can't stand
Speaker 2: meme Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Oh they really they're doing it. Man, They're like they've
Speaker 1: seen all the memes we've seen and they're like, all right, now,
Speaker 1: go eat an ice cream cone and like act like
Speaker 1: you're just like cool while talking about fucking Gaza yeah,
Speaker 1: and making like promises that you can't back up.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So he went on there, I guess because there's
Speaker 2: like a there's like a big tenth anniversary. Is that
Speaker 2: kind of like the occasion or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was wild to like think about
Speaker 1: so Amy Poehler was on and uh that, Like it
Speaker 1: was wild to remember that like her character was obsessed
Speaker 1: with Joe Biden, like that was a part of like
Speaker 1: a lovable character on Parks and rec was like, man,
Speaker 1: we love Joe Biden, Yeah, and we love this person
Speaker 1: who loves Joe Biden for loving Joe Biden, and things
Speaker 1: have gotten a little more complicated since then. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean myers like very marginally, but like I actually
Speaker 1: pressed Biden on his reticence to call for a ceasefire,
Speaker 1: which led Biden to announce that Israel has agreed to
Speaker 1: pause the defensive during Ramadan, which will give us time
Speaker 1: to get all the hostages out, which seems like a
Speaker 1: pretty big announcement. Yeah, to casually drop on a TV
Speaker 1: show that was once hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 2: Dude, that was the first thing when I saw that headline,
Speaker 2: I was like, wait where and then he's like eating
Speaker 2: a fucking eye. Well, there's one part where he's on
Speaker 2: the couch talking about this and then they go get
Speaker 2: an ice cream and he's.
Speaker 1: Part of the show or was that just like a
Speaker 1: stage photo op thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, like when he made the
Speaker 2: quote he was on the couch. I saw a clip
Speaker 2: of him on the couch being like and they're gonna,
Speaker 2: you know, Ramadan, and then they'll be able to get
Speaker 2: the hostages and then you know, we'll see what's going
Speaker 2: on from there. But there's still like not a lot
Speaker 2: of agreement that we've heard from like the Israeli government
Speaker 2: that's like yeah, yeah, that's happening. So you're like what
Speaker 2: it like, is is this or isn't it just weird?
Speaker 2: You can't like, I feel like I can't take him
Speaker 2: seriously on a talk show, right, Like that has to
Speaker 2: be said from like the lectern of the president for
Speaker 2: it to feel like it's more than just being like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I'm underwater and I got the
Speaker 2: Michigan Primary coming up, and I got a lot of
Speaker 2: work to do to undo the lack of support I've
Speaker 2: created for my you know, support of this uh this genocide.
Speaker 2: So uh but anyway, man, Taylor Swift touh, she's on
Speaker 2: our team. And then he put the glasses on. Everything
Speaker 2: was just so un It's like so fucking weird. Like
Speaker 2: the problems we're facing are so dire. These people are
Speaker 2: like there are people dying of starvation in Gaza and
Speaker 2: you're like licking the ice cream and putting aviators on,
Speaker 2: doing real life meme shit. Yeah, it's just like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, it's like the scariest shit I think I've seen,
Speaker 2: like in this weird way where we're like no thing
Speaker 2: fucking makes sense or matters to the people that absolutely it,
Speaker 2: like have to fucking be serious and have it matter to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's And by the way, like at the
Speaker 1: so the ice cream thing was after the show. It's
Speaker 1: just him and Seth having an ice cream together, so
Speaker 1: it was like a photo op and there he said
Speaker 1: the ceasefire could happen by the end of the weekend,
Speaker 1: despite the fact that Ramadan doesn't start until the following Sunday.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's you'd think they'd be like
Speaker 1: careful about messaging this and like serious about messaging this.
Speaker 2: But it's well, especially for something right that people are
Speaker 2: screaming out for a ceasefire, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like there are many people, when we say this constantly,
Speaker 2: who are so disturbed and distraught over what America's part
Speaker 2: is in all of this, and saying the least you
Speaker 2: can do is at least use the influence of this
Speaker 2: of the United States to stop the fucking assault on Gaza.
Speaker 2: And then but then I don't know, and like you're
Speaker 2: talking like Trump, like I don't know one or two weeks,
Speaker 2: two to three weeks, I don't know. There's an ice cream.
Speaker 2: It's just like, man, it just shows how like casually
Speaker 2: I feel like the administration is taking it especially to
Speaker 2: like to engage the topic in such a flippant way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I I hope it's just like But
Speaker 2: then there's this headline from CNN. It says Israel and
Speaker 2: Hamas distance themselves from Biden's optimism on causes ceasefire, right,
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's just posturing because they're
Speaker 2: still negotiating or whatever, but it's yeah, I don't know, man,
Speaker 2: good luck to that man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had like in looking at you know, he'll
Speaker 1: say he's frustrated with net Yahuo behind the scenes, and
Speaker 1: then net Ya who will openly be like I can
Speaker 1: get this guy to say, what do whatever the fuck
Speaker 1: I want him to, don't We don't take them seriously.
Speaker 1: They're always going to capitulate, so we'll see. But fucking meme,
Speaker 1: b Biden dark cool cool.
Speaker 2: Just like don't yeah, sorry, yeah, Like I know, maybe
Speaker 2: you think like you're trying to get the TikTokers on
Speaker 2: your side, but like the people are still engaging with
